I assure you that you're allowed to write as long posts as you like. And if you feel like only writing a small post with not much happening now and then, it's fine. Like, if you don't have much time or energy but want to show that you're still in the game, you can write a shorter post as a promise to make a more eventful one later ;)

Yeah, in this first chapter the only thing that happens is pretty much that you get your pokétop and pokémon ^^ but just for style's sake, I'll treat it as an update in the IC thread. I want to write my own first post as well!! I might have time in the afternoon today, or tomorrow :x I go to school and I have a long lunch meeting and tonight there's a fine banquet I'm going too and afterwards it's party all night long~ and all that time I'm gonna think about what's gonna happen in my first post xD -damaged by PokéCommunity-

Me too Fuyu. Mind you, for labour day weekend (which happens to start tonight), I'll be off on vacation...again. It's a trip to see some family, and I've never met them nor have I been to their house, so whether or not I get a chance to go on the computer and actually write an articulate post in this RP is questionable. But since I can apparently write short posts, if anything, I'll make sure to drop a few in while I'm there.

Oh yeah, that reminds me. I'm gonna be moving house in the next couple of weeks, and I'm not sure if we'll have internet right away or not (we'll get it pretty quickly though, my house mates won't be able to live without it). I'll let you know closer to the date, and post as much as I can until then.

Thanks for giving me a heads up. No need to rush as long as the thing doesn't come to a complete standstill.

I wrote the first post and then I realized that I don't want to play with a gloomy character like Clover. Since I haven't posted with him yet, I thought I'd ask you guys if you think it's ok that I change his personality and stuff quite a lot? Thus, making a new SU.

I'll post route 1 soon anyways.

I want to make a character more alike Ria or Nai. But it would be boring with too many similar characters :x So I'll try to mix things up.

Route 1 is up now, anyways. I'll hopefully post again here with the new SU soon.

EDIT:

Name: Cal "Clover" Cossinsky

Gender: Boy

Appearance: Clover is rather tall for being 12 and has almost hit puberty already, his body parts not being quite as round as the ones of a child, somehow. He is slightly underweight and hasn't got much in way of muscles. His hair is brightly brown and almost long, it reaches down over his ears and curls up in waves that he thinks fit him perfectly. He usually wears slim black jeans and equally black boots to go along with it. He cares more about his looks than his geeky friends and some of them sighs at him sometimes just because he comes to school in matching clothes. But being rather artistic as Clover is, he just can't help it.

The belt he has is specially made with a kind of magnets that lets him hook up pokéballs there and fetch them and set them back easily. 6 spots are there, on his right hip, as he's right handed. On the other hip, a small rubber pouch hangs from his belt, containing minimized empty pokéballs. He thinks it's good to have those close at hand in case he'll stumble upon a wild pokémon and have little time to catch it.

For the journey, his upper body is dressed in white t-shirts and his sky blue jacket on top. It's got darker shoulders and collar, and the rest is brighter. In bad weather, he's got a very foldable and durable rain poncho that is gray and fit in a small compartment of his bag. He also wears a striped gray scarf most of the time and only takes it off when the weather becomes too warm. Even when he takes off his jacket, he usually keeps the scarf on. He likes the soft feeling of it around his neck.

He reluctantly left his silver wrist watch at home, since he counts on the pokétop to tell him the time. He has got a real silver chain around his neck though. It isn't the most fancy thing and he acted like he didn't care when his mother gave it to him just a few days before he left Pallet, but in reality it means very very much to him and is a symbol for the things he left at home.

Personality: A typical, tall, lazy teenage boy. That's mostly what he's like. And he isn't even a teenager yet. Clover's voice hasn't deepened yet, it's mostly producing a rather monotone, bored sounding boy voice with sarcastic remarks on everything it possibly can. He's incredibly skeptic about most things and likes the way he does things himself the best. His most common gesture is him raising an eyebrow or even two. He also facepalms a lot. When something needs doing that he's not interested in, he can be very lazy and even ignorant on purpose. But things he cares about, he'll do with dedication and energy.

His main interests are digital stuff like programming and he's been working on creating his own programs to control miniature robots. He wants to become an engineer and invent more intelligent robots one day. Judging from this, you could think Clover was wholly on the robots' side. But he also likes pokémon.

The energies and powers of pokémon fascinates him and he's been reading on his own to try and figure out explanations for pokémon powers. But like all the famous scientists, he finds no scientific explanation and has to come to terms with the thought that pokémon might just be magical. Something he has trouble doing. He likes watching pokémon battles on TV and is a bit disappointed that Pallet City of all towns hasn't got a local battle club or stadium of any kind. He knows many pokémon attacks and species and names by heart and can't wait to become a trainer himself.

Another interest of his is photography. About a year ago, he got a modern, metal colored system camera from his parents and he brings it with him almost wherever he go. The walls in his room at home is a collage of great pics he's taken, and of posters by his favorite music artists. Because he also loves music and keeps headphones on even more than he keeps his camera on. He specifically requested for the pokétop to come with a music function and he hopes that the professor has implemented it. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to wear that thing.

Clover often snaps at his parents and claims that they are doing things the wrong way. But he really loves them a lot. He hasn't got any siblings and his parents are his only family. In school, he has got a few friends who share his common interests, but he hasn't got a best friend and has never really cared about getting really close with someone. He likes his computer programs and his music and doesn't have a problem with being alone. Sometimes he wonders what it'll be like to travel around with pokémon... they are almost as intelligent as humans, so that would be almost like traveling around with a group of humans. Fun?

History: Clover hasn't really thought about this traveling thing. He's not what you'd call self-sufficient and has never washed his own clothes or made his own dinner. The maid at home usually does everything. She's worried for him now; what if he panics out on the road?

His father works in a factory, controlling robots and his mother works at an office at a pokémon breeding center that actually delivers some pokémon straight to professor Cedar's lab. Sometimes, Clover has heard them argue about their work. His father thinks robots are much more easier to create and control than pokémon and doesn't understand why the mother bothers with them. His mother thinks that robots are scary and impersonal and think that they can never replace the life and uniqueness of every pokémon. Clover agrees and disagrees with both of them. He thinks robots should be given better personalities and that pokémon are worth the attention. He doesn't really see why there would be a clash there.

Nothing special has really happened when Cal Cossinsky grew up. Pallet kept growing and he visited the Oak Park a few times, it's like a zoo when Cedar opens it up to public sometimes, and that made him sure of that he wanted to go on a pokémon journey eventually. When he was 10, a series of random bad events - none so serious that it's worth talking about here, though - showed that Cal was an unusually lucky boy. Some were amazed by the luck he had, escaping bad things that happened all around him. Cal all of a sudden gave himself the nickname Clover and has since then insisted on people calling him that.

Starter choice: Staryu, genderless, Natural Cure

Pokétop look: Grass green, almost rubbery feeling to the touch. Pretty sharp looking, with slightly darker green metal edges around the visor and underneath. Like all pokétops, it's extremely comfy to wear since it's made to fit the owner's head. When inactivated, it retracts into a pair of rather large and round grass green headphones that Clover hangs around his neck when he gets too annoyed with the pokétop voice.

ABOUT THE POKÉTOP: I suggest you read my Route 1 post in the main thread if you feel unsure on how to handle the pokétop :3 You don't have to do it exactly the same way or even with the same commands, but it's a suggestion.

Mmmwaah, I already want to post again xD maybe I should join another RP as well.

I like Clover XD and nobody can even come close to the oddness that is Nai. When I finish this post you will understand. By the way I am changing his theme song to Break Down by Girugamesh, which I will edit later.

Errrrm, just one thing: I just found it weird that we're allowed to catcha Poochyena in Route one in Kanto~

Okay, I shouuuuuld explain the NPC I made, along with other's I'm going to make:

~Trisha's basically Amber's rival. She's probably like, the only few that can match Amber's trash talking performance.
~I'm also going to make a character that's obsessed with numbers (alllllmost like Sho Minimoto almost) except he uses BIG words, and has a less desire for art. :B He's also Amber's rival...and Trish's.
~And also a news crew! They're going to follow the three; kind of making this sort of like a show. :B

Appearance
At the onset of adolescence, Xoxaa is developing in to a fine and attractive young woman, but if you'd ask her, she'd describe herself modestly. Her skin is a slightly tanned peachy color and is well cared for, with few visual flaws, but like everyone, not perfect. Her hair is a soft, rich auburn, often put up in two spiky long ponytails in the back with a few strands left out front covering part of her forehead and her ears. Her hairstyle gives her a cute appearance, which is in no part counteracted by her eyes. The girl's eyes are a vivid green that complements her hair well, both in cuteness and their shine. She has a well proportioned face, and a youthful one at that, though she has a cute face to match her hair and eyes. Her body has a pretty decent, healthy build. She's a bit of an athlete, with decently sized leg and arm muscles and little body fat, her body is well built for the outdoors where she is used to being living in the outskirts of Pallet City.

Even just making her way to her teenager years, her development of feminine features is well in progress. With a larger breast size compared to others her age as well as some development in her hips and rear hint at the development of some fine feminine features as her adolescence progresses. Her athleticism seems to do little to hamper the development of her feminine assets. In fact, they accentuate them well, build her leg and arm strength to give her developed and healthy leg and arm muscles, implying her good health. She's of about average height, being around 5' 6" and is at a healthy weight. Her physical fitness is likely to be greater than most of her peers due to they being accustomed to the easy life of advanced technologies and the sedentary lifestyle it promotes, thus giving her not only an advantage in fitness, but a cleaner and healthier appearance as well.

Her clothing style is mostly modest until you get below the belt, but it sports a casual, functional and athletic yet fashionable style, albeit a little suggestive in some areas. She usually wears colorful shirts, sometimes thick sweaters in cold weather that completely cover her torso. Often her shirts are blank, bear the name of various local and regional sports teams, schools, or just certain scenery or her favorite Pokemon, in particular Dragonair. However she almost exclusively wears mini skirts, even in cold weather, though she comes prepared with long, thick and vibrantly colored socks with varying patterns such as stripes and dots for such conditions. Her socks are shorter in warmer weather, ending below her knees and are often also very colorful, though they tend to be blue most often. She also wears stylish but adventure ready white boots so she can tackle any obstacle in the wilderness and look great doing it. She also wears soft black and green trainer gloves that cover her fingers, enabling her to have a good grip on her pokeballs and to keep her hands clean with all of the harmful substances one can encounter on an adventure with Pokemon.

Personality
Xoxaa is quite the energetic character in an environment she's comfortable in. She can be quite loud and goofy around good friends and she has a bit of a mischievous side too. When it's crunch time, she will rise to the challenge and face it head on. Her brave nature complements her overly dramatic streak, often one to describe something a little too strongly. Her goofy behavior rubs off on others in different ways, but more often it tends to make her look too cute, so others tend to not take her seriously because of it. Still, she tends to be a reliable, trustworthy and protective ally, and prefers to operate on gut instinct over careful analysis. However, if she has time to analyze a situation, she'll do it and do it well.

Most wouldn't expect it at first glance, but Xoxaa is also a very critical person, though she doesn't always express it. She pushes her Pokemon hard to excel, and can be very blunt about others as well, though she is less likely to express it as her honesty has gotten her in trouble in the past. Even her food she is picky about, and although she loves to eat, she loves to eat top quality food only. Her overachieving nature often hides her intelligent side, which is scarcely seen except in a serious discussion or in a heated Pokemon battle. Her goofy behavior often hides her most important trait, wisdom. Good friends will know her for being supportive and giving much needed wisdom in rough times.

Xoxaa's first impression to others often leads people to recognize is her shyness, but she's especially shy around strangers, especially bigger people and people who seem too interested in her too soon. She's also easy to blush, so she's known to do a variety of things under social anxiety such as running away and hiding, or curling up into a ball and hiding her face. She doesn't have much social pizazz as it stands and makes up for it by being obnoxious, which unfortunately backfires a lot. Sometimes her socially awkward behavior will be seen by older people as her just being cute, which only embarrasses her more and makes the symptoms worse.

The girl is also quite modest, which you normally wouldn't expect with her behavior. She doesn't like to brag much and will downplay any praise you give her. This is not to be confused with her confidence, as she's fairly skilled at keeping them both in check.

History
Xoxaa grew up further in to the city before her family moved to the outskirts of Pallet City. There, her mother ran a Pokemon daycare company, where she would watch over other trainers' Pokemon and even train them and teach them new moves. Her mother's company was particularly popular amongst the anti-robot crowd who prefered their Pokemon to be processed and cared for by real people and not robots. Growing up as a toddler, Xoxaa was introduced to Pokemon right away, but her playful and eccentric nature was often too much for the Pokemon, so they attacked her. Since then, Xoxaa has always been a little timid around new Pokemon until she got to know them better. Still, Xoxaa was intent on learning and befriending Pokemon. Especially once she started preliminary and elementary school in the inner city where she lived, her inability to develop friendships and being a victim of harassment made her desire to befriend Pokemon ever so stronger.

Then, Xoxaa's family decided to move to the city's outskirts, and thus change school districts. Her mother had managed to move to the countryside where she bought more land to expand her countryside ranch she had owned previously that housed her own Pokemon from past travels to also be the new site of her Pokemon daycare business. Not only did the family's profits soar from caring for the Pokemon in a more natural setting, Xoxaa got to enjoy the outdoors much more with her mother and the Pokemon there, establishing a greater sense of freedom and understand of these mystical creatures. School was still a place of harassment, but she could always come home later in the day and play in her mother's ranch with the Pokemon, that is if they didn't shun her either.

As she grew older, she developed more confidence in herself, participating in local sports and school athletic clubs where she improved on her athletic talent. Her peers developed more respect for her, but not quite enough to end the harassment, sometimes even leading to physical abuse. Even some of her martial arts classes did little to help. Xoxaa also learned more advanced knowledge of Pokemon from her mother, preparing her for the day where she could finally become a trainer. That day would come sooner than she thought, but the day came, and now Xoxaa hopes to become an accomplished trainer just like her mother was.

Starter Choice
Dratini, Male, Shed Skin

Pokétop Look
Xoxaa's poketop is a bit different from the others, where the top of it is a band that spans the top of her head like headphones, but appears to be move of a headband of sorts with green and blue stripes on it. On top of it is a rotating see-through visor that from the outside look similar to large sunglasses sitting on her head. When her poketop activates, the visor drops, covering the entirety of the top half of her face while the headband allows it to stay on her head. There's also another band that goes behind her head to stabilize the poketop. Her poketop is mostly a mix of green and blue stripes excluding her visor, which functions as the visual component of her poketop.

Character Theme Song
I may add one later, but ATM I'll leave it blank yet not quite blank.
